Nexus Maine - April Roundup
Feeling the Kenergy
Spring is here and we love the energy and the new crop of events popping up. Since last time, the community hosted its second monthly coffee meetup in Kennebunk and its first happy hour in Portland! We’ve heard that local unstructured meetups are what people want most, so if you are feeling inspired to host something in your neck of the woods, let us know and we’ll help jumpstart it.
Also, we are now over 240 members!
As always, if you know anyone great for this group, please make sure you send them this invite link.
